Any reason to keep OEM wheels?

superukr · 03-04-2015, 07:48 AM

Hi guys,
I have set of OEMs and not sure if I should keep those or sell them - those ugly 16" like these

Store them for over 10 years with original Bridgestone runflats. And really not sure if there is any reason I have them.
Currently I have gun metal 17's with spacers with Pirellis runflats and considering flipping them to nonrunflats pretty soon. You can see them on last page of intro topic.
Maybe I should sell both sets and put 18 or 19?
Any ideas?
Thanks

No reason unless you plan to drive in a climate that snows. Then you put winter tires on the OEM set. 19s will look great!

yeah 19 would be nice, no plans to drive it on winters whatsoever, this car barely seen any rain.

I'd keep them in case you get rid of the car. You'll probably get more money out of selling the aftermarket wheels separately.

Y'all have the luxury of storage space apparently.

Forgive us for offering valid advice from a different perspective?

Sorry. I should have added the

Valid perspectives? Here?

I'm in same boat - just have 2 spare rims, plus my stock exhaust cans. Still debating the storage space as well versus passing along. Maybe I'll make some bench or a sculpture out of them one day.

I keep my oem for the winter time for winter tires then I use my 19s for the summer. But I also keep them in case I wanna sell the car. Value of the car is always higher when it has oem parts.

Depends. Those 16" wheels add mark-up? Nah. And a tastefully modded car will at least bring in base price, if not a little more.
